In the 1998 film "Ever After" (starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott), one of the stepsisters of the spirited Danielle was called Marguerite D' Ghent, the daughter of baroness Rodmilla D' Ghent-De Barbarac.

I love my name, even though I don't really think it fits me -- it's too flowery. I just want to let everyone know that there are lots of annoying nicknames that can come from Marguerite.Here are a few others have actually called me: Meg, Meggie, Margarita (like the drink), Margaret, and Marge (from the Simpsons)!

On Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, there was a character named Marguerite. She was a greedy, seductive lady from the nineteenth century turned adventurer when she and a few others found themselves transported into a primal world of dinosaurs, human savages and prehistoric creatures.

Marguerite Johnson is Maya Angelou's birth name. Maya was just her brother's nickname for her.

Marguerite Patten (born 1915) was the first cookery expert to appear regularly on British television. She has written many cookery books and still contributes articles on cookery to newspapers and magazines!

It's a beautiful name that reminds me not only of the lovely big "Marguerite daisy" with its summery feel but of medieval French princesses. Margot makes a good nickname, anything but Marge or Maggie.I just read this rhyme:In search from A to Z they passed, And "Marguerita" chose at last;But thought it sound far more sweetTo call the baby "Marguerite."When grandma saw the little pet, She called her "darling Margaret."Next uncle Jack and cousin AggieSent cup and spoon to "little Maggie."And grandpapa the right must begTo call the lassie "bonnie Meg."From "Marguerita" down to "Meg,"And now she's simply "little Peg."
